Onderhoudsinstructies
Strobilanthes alternata requires bright, indirect light and should be kept in moderate temperatures. It prefers high humidity and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.Bodem
The plant prefers well-draining loam soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of potting soil with organic matter works well. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage.Verpotten
Repot Strobilanthes alternata every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Voortplanting
Propagate the plant through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant it in a moist potting mix. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until it establishes roots.Snoeien
Prune the plant regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged leaves and trim back leggy stems. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season.Toxiciteit
Strobilanthes alternata is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any potential issues.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
